Nightlife

The nightlife in Chapultepec is amazing, there's always something to do and a lot of places to go... Whether you want a peaceful place or even a nightclub, Chapultepec have it. 

On saturdays theres a typoe of flea market in which you can find everything, from clothes to food or desserts, pipes, accessories, etc. And there's always a band playing music, sometimes is reggae, sometimes it's more punk or rock... it dependos on the performing band. 

Sometimes, every 2 or 3 months there are concerts/ different groups performing in all the avenue and they close the streets for safetiness and to have more control. 

There is also a night ride in which you will have a good and peaceful time riding your bike across the streets surrounding the main ave.

           

I think Chapultepec is awesome, there is a really good vibe whatever your mood is, you will be happy there. All the restaurants are good, also the little cafes are great, you really enjoy having a drink and just talking with your friends in a peaceful environment. The saturdays are my favorites because of the flea market and the musicians preforming on the street. But any day is a good day to go, whether you go in the morning, in the afternoon or at night you'll always find new places that are great choices.
